In The
Court of Appeals For The
First District of Texas ———————————— NO. 01-24-00428-CR ——————————— MANUEL TONY ALCAREZ, Appellant V. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 232nd District Court Harris County, Texas Trial Court Case No. 1560099
MEMORANDUM OPINION
After a jury trial, appellant was convicted on June 6, 2024 of the second-
degree felony offense of indecency with a child by sexual contact. Appellant was
sentenced to five years’ imprisonment in the Correctional Institutions Division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Notice of appeal was filed on June 6,
2024.
On August 20, 2024, appellant’s counsel, Thomas A. Martin filed a notice of
abandonment, but attached to counsel’s notice is a signed letter from appellant,
stating that he no longer wants counsel’s services and “would like to stop the appeals
process.” We interpret this notice, together with appellant’s letter, as a request to
dismiss the appeal because appellant no longer wishes to proceed with the appeal.
See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2(a).
We grant the request and dismiss the appeal. See id. Any other pending
motions are dismissed as moot.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Chief Justice Adams and Justices Hightower and Countiss. Do not publish. TEX. R. APP. P. 47.2(b).
